With years in the trenches as a rock guitarist, James Cohen has now confidently immersed himself into the world of flamenco music. The speed with which he plays has been finely honed by a keen sense of time and polished by emotion, as shown by his third CD, High Side of Lowdown.

This time around, James has fused flamenco, gypsy jazz, and blues—and has done it with a quartet that includes two of Canada’s best guitarists. Add legendary keyboard player Richard Bell to the mix (Janis Joplin's piano player), and you have the recipe for a world-class world music CD!
